At the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), gospel singer Empress Gifty delivered an emotional moment that left attendees deeply moved. On May 10, 2025, she was honored with the Best Traditional Gospel Music award for her hit single “Watch Me,” a song written and produced by Kuami Eugene.
During her acceptance speech, Empress Gifty broke down in tears as she dedicated the award to her late mother, Evangelist Agnes Aba Afful, affectionately known as Agaga.
Accompanied by her husband, Hopeson Adorye, and manager, Edem Tsotsorme, Empress Gifty took the stage visibly emotional. Her heartfelt tribute highlighted the profound impact her mother had on her life and career. The late Agaga, who passed away in January 2025, was a notable figure, having appeared in commercials and Kumawood movies alongside actors like Yaw Dabo.
While many praised Empress Gifty for her vulnerability and genuine expression of grief, some critics questioned the public display of emotion, debating whether it was appropriate for the event. Nevertheless, the moment underscored the deep personal connections artists often bring to their work and the stages they grace.
Empress Gifty’s performance and subsequent award dedication at TGMA 2025 have sparked conversations about the intersection of personal loss and public celebration, highlighting the complexities artists navigate in their professional journeys.
